&lt;p&gt;Fakhruddin Ahmed, Bangladesh prime minister, joins Sir David this week and talks about the state of emergency in his country.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;He talks about the background of the state of emergency and why it was placed. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The prime minister says it was declared in January 2007 to bring the country back to normalcy and root out corruption that plagued the country for many years. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;No specific time has been given to lift the emergency and the deadline to have free elections is set for December 2008.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The prime minister says he is confident and committed to seeing the elections take place at that time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;LAKELAND -- A large Lakeland family has been split in two temporarily by complex Israeli travel restrictions that forced the mother to leave seven of her children behind when they attempted to fly home. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On Aug. 18, Wedad Yacoub and 10 of her children -- all U.S. citizens -- were returning from a family visit in the West Bank through Tel Aviv, the same airport through which they had arrived more than two months before.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;9/5/07 - Israeli Government Prevents Lakeland Children From Flying Home
&lt;br /&gt;Mother, Three Children Return, Seven More Stuck in Palestine&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Lakeland family was separated on Aug. 18 at an Israeli airport as they attempted to return home from a summer visiting relatives in Palestine. Although Wedad Yacoub is a naturalized U.S. citizen and all her children were born in America, Israeli officials would not allow them to board the flight.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Wedad Yacoub was forced to choose between remaining in Palestine with 10 of her 11 children or return with the three youngest children, leaving the other seven behind. The eleventh child was back home in Lakeland.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class="post_content"&gt;

&lt;p&gt;9/5/07 - LAKELAND -- The summer wasn't supposed to end like this for the Yacoub family. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Lakeland family was separated on Aug. 18 at an Israeli airport as they attempted to return home from a summer visiting relatives in Palestine. Although Wedad Yacoub is a naturalized U.S. citizen and all her children were born in America, Israeli officials would not allow them to board the flight.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Wedad Yacoub was forced to choose between remaining in Palestine with 10 of her 11 children or return with the three youngest children, leaving the other seven behind. The eleventh child was back home in Lakeland.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After arranging for the children to be picked up by relatives, she flew home with her 10-, 5- and 3-year-olds. The other children, ranging in age from 11 to 22, were driven back to their grandmother's home in Ramallah, where they remain caught in a bureaucratic and political tangle.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;At a news conference Wednesday in Tampa, officials with the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a civil-rights group, said the Yacoubs have only two options: press U.S. government officials to persuade Israel to allow the children to leave, or to send them home through Amman, Jordan, a lengthy and expensive process.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ahmed Bedier, executive director of the council's Tampa chapter, said Continental Airlines has rebooked reservations for the children today at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, but that is where they were denied permission to return, and the family is not hopeful they will be allowed to depart.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class="post_content"&gt;

&lt;p&gt;ST. PETERSBURG - A Muslim civil rights organization is calling on Pinellas County school officials to investigate a threat it says was made against a sixth-grade Muslim girl at Azalea Middle School.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The 11-year-old girl, Hannah, told reporters she's afraid to go to back to school after a boy pulled off her head scarf and the next day threatened to shoot and kill her.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"I feel so afraid," she said. "I should just switch schools."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Council on American-Islamic Relations held a news conference this afternoon outside the school at 22nd Avenue North and 79th Street North with the girl and her parents, all of whom would give only their first names, citing security concerns. Ahmed Bedier, executive director of CAIR's Tampa chapter, said the organization's primary concern is the safety of Hannah and all the other students at the school.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Police in India say the alleged leader of an organ trafficking network may now have fled the country. Dr Ahmed Kumar is on the run after a raid on a private hospital in Delhi where he is thought to have performed hundreds of illegal organ transplants. Many of his alleged victims were poor immigrant labourers whose organs were sold to wealthy patients. Al Jazeera's Matt McClure reports from the Indian capital.&lt;/p&gt;
